  The leadership (is supposed to) represent the people, the people do not represent the leadership. Israelis do not represent the Israeli government. Employees of a Meta subsidiary do not represent Meta, Facebook, or Zuckerberg. Don’t attack McDonald’s employees because the burger is more expensive, YouTube employees because the content preys on children or residents/soldiers of a country because the government decides to mobilise its army against another community. Employees are just victims of capitalism, just working there because they must, irrespective of politics.

  If an app can only be disabled there is a very useful tool called Android Debloater. Using a computer, download ADB + Fastboot (I prefer the portable version, no installer), move the files from Debloater into the same folder as the ADB files, and execute the debloater from that folder.
  Once you learn the basics of enabling USB debugging on your Android, connecting it to the computer and running the debloat tool, everything else is simple. It gives various recommended lists of apps to disable or completely uninstall, and descriptors for almost every package so you know what it’s used for. It’s how you can remove any unwanted social media apps, the original YouTube in favour of Revanced, Google Gboard and its privacy issues, Search (and with it any mandatory search bar on the home screen, the News sidebar etc.)

  I did, but completely forgot! I haven’t used a local library in years >.<

  That’s pretty much what I just recommended aha, 12th gen or higher, or a GPU. Doesn’t have to be a large one either - my GTX 970 could handle Emby transcoding as well as blaze through speech recognition for a local voice assistant

  IIRC the free version of Emby doesn’t throttle in any way, you can still have up to 10 concurrent active devices and the only thing you miss out on really is OpenSubtitles. But I’ve recently upped my game with Sonarr and it’s a dream. One day I’ll put my movies into Radarr.

  You need any kind of mobo/CPU combo, I’ve heard 12th Gen Intel onwards are as capable of transcoding on the fly as an older GPU so you wouldn’t need both, but if you go older I recommend a GPU as well, just because it gives more flexibility with being able to use hardcoded subtitles without locking up the CPU, and streaming a lower bitrate version of the video if your internet is shit, instead of - again - locking up

  For easy certificate management I use NginX Proxy Manager, for media I use Emby and for a domain I use Cloudflare but you can absolutely serve your server with DuckDNS or another DDNS service for free.

  I paid about £200 to build my server, and holy fuck it’s so much cheaper than any subscription. Electricity is about £3-£5 a year and other costs are optional

  I found one called conduwuit and immediately used that to setup lol

  I got one recently by B&H Photo Video, may have got lucky but the drive was brand new and untampered, and was in plastic cushioning, in a fitted box, inside 6" of airbags, inside another box. Delivered by DHL Express.

  Sometimes DuckDNS goes down partially, their servers breaking for about a week is why I purchased a domain and now host via Cloudflare.
